Part of the ceiling of this hotel is a hexagon coffered ceiling which is repeated on some areas of the floors. Please note how the small sconces have the room numbers on them which then reflect on the walls. How cool!
If it weren't for the glass table the size of this room would be perfect for kids to play around. The beam ceiling is loudly calling my name.
The white curvy side table works as a space for the eye to rest from the rectilinear of the elaborate boiseries and headboard. Love the scale of the lamp and the simple detail of the brassy dove on the wall.
The TV of course had to be white. If I live in Istanbul one day, cross your fingers, I'll be knocking the doors of Autoban.
Love, love the excess of molding and the appliques used to make the boiseries. Everything is about continuity in this hallway.
In the bathrooms hexagon shaped mirror again mirrors the ceiling. The two leg sink, by the way, deserves a post of its own.
In both images above we can see clearly how beautiful architecture does not need much to reign. Someone said that a good room should be able to look beautiful naked. I agree! Apparently the hotel has a "butler" style service but I would much rather be at the roof top enjoying a delicious Turkish breakfast overlooking The Galata tower.
